When creating a new Realex Payments account you will need to enter following:

Bypassing 3DS2 using Agent Account ID

3DS2 enabled requires two sub accounts; one for online customer initiated payments and one for Agent capture. To allow bypassing of 3DS2 for Agent capture, you will need to:

  1. Create a non 3DS2 sub account with Realex. (This is to allow agents to bypass 3DS2 when taking payments from a customer). Once created you will be given an Agent Account ID by Realex.

  2. Create or update an existing Realex payment method in Singula® Subscriber Management, making sure to include the correct Identifier and the Agent Account ID provided by Realex.

  3. Complete any other required fields and then click 'Save' to finalise the changes.

Refund Password – This ensures that requests for refunds are genuine;

Currencies – You must add a row for each currency associated with the identifier.
Note: The currencies shown are the ones set up in our system and aren’t specific to the PSP;
Transaction Type – Select either a recurring and/or initial transaction type. Note: your default account has to be set to recurring;

Once setup is complete, click the Save button at the bottom or Cancel to go back.

Note: Once you’ve added an account in Setup payment method you are unable to delete/deactivate it, as this is financial data that may have an impact on customer transaction.
If you need to delete or deactivate a payment method please contact your Account Manager or Help Centre.
